Examples

“the Anglophone media”
“Ireland is an unusual anglophone location in that it is an island of some size with a population large enough for internal dialectal variation. It can be compared in this respect with Newfoundland and possibly with Jamaica and New Zealand (two islands, of course). Other anglophone locations are either much larger (United States, Canada, South Africa, Australia) or so small that an internal differentiation of varieties is not recognisable, cf. the many anglophone islands of the Caribbean as well as such islands as Malta or Tristan da Cunha.”
““What is this? ‘Why are you talking to me in English?’” I prodded, mimicking my mother, who would scold us when, around guests of the anglophone persuasion, we accidentally addressed her in English.”
